>I think that is legal. Right? I just have to stay between 13,533 & 13,557
>and lower than 8 mw?
No, not quite right on the frequencies, and any type antenna is OK *if* you
understand the power limit a little better. It's 7.5mW EIRP, not TPO, and
the real limit is field strength. Really need to check out the lwca.org Web
site that I mentioned before. Check the "Happy New Year, HiFERs" story on
the home page for a basic summary. Then use the LowFER/MedFER link and go
to the About Part 15 section. From there, read the FCC Part 15 Rules, and
visit the links to Lyle Koehler's site and the Noise Floor pages that I
described earlier.
>So, What is available in the way of circuits, kits, prefab modules etc?
No kits. This is a pretty specialized hobby. Circuits at Lyle's site, and
via the link to Jonathan Smick's site found in the Noise Floor pages
mentioned above. Some folks employ the Epson programmable oscillator
modules for the frequency source, followed by suitable harmonic filtering.
Lyle's pages have details.
